she was cold and unfriendly
majoring in indifference
but then again
so was I
so I couldn’t complain
she was the operator
who said “The number you have reached
555-1234 has been disconnected
no further information is available
about 555-1234”
always sounded ominous
I was strangely attracted to her
I was enthusiastic
she was hostile
cautious
sitting in my car
looking at the world
that evening
blurry rainy windshield
somehow everything looks better
when you can’t see
what you don’t wanna see
